Important

• Consult your local building code official and check all code requirements. Purchaser has the

sole responsibility to determine whether the aluminum railing and aluminum post products

comply with applicable codes and are appropriate for the intended use. The purchaser and

installer should review the intended use of the products with a licensed professional

engineer to determine code compliance.

• Obtain all required building permits.

• Read all instrucons thoroughly prior to assembly to assure correct installaon.

Manufacturer will not be held responsible for unsafe or incorrect installaon.

Note: Ensure that posts are installed with the 1-piece post skirt in place. Skirt cannot be installed

aer railing installaon (see Post Instrucons). Rails must be posioned in the correct direcon

prior to cung. If rails are not in the correct posion, they may be cut incorrectly and pickets

will not line up.

1. Lay boom rail beside the post assemblies with approximately 1” clearance (use 1“ spacer)

between the boom rail and the nose of the steps (Image 1).

2. Insert a picket into the last hole on each end of the boom rail. Place the top rail on these spindles.

Posion the rail assembly against the posts and even the spacing on each end with the pickets

parallel to the post assemblies. Clamp the rail assembly to the posts (Image 2).

3. Using the post, mark the top and boom rails for cung. Cut the rails 1/16” shorter than the marks on each end. This is needed to prevent the

6. Slide the top rail brackets onto the top rail. Hold the top rail at an angle above pickets. Starng at one end, feed each picket into the corresponding

hole on the top rail (Image 4). When all pickets are in the holes, lightly tap the top of the top rail with a rubber mallet to ensure they are fully

seated. Measure to ensure the final top rail height is achieved. Note: Due to variances, you may need to move the top rail up 1/16” to 1/8” to

achieve the proper height.

7. Fasten the self-centering top rail brackets to the posts using the #10 screws provided. Secure the top rail brackets to the top rail with the same

#10 screws.
